Even a sinner stops to pray from time to time - Featuring Petit Chat, Moondance Boutique and more!


Earlier this week I went for my mammogram and once again they scheduled the 3D mammogram for today, and discussions between the Radiologist and the surgeon have already started, which of course has me a little pensive. Whenever that happens a certain song starts to roll through my head; so since I don't have much to say at the moment I thought I would share it with you, because as I have come to know, even a sinner stops to pray from time to time.

The Black Swan’s Song – Featuring Virtual Diva, Petit Chat, Truth, Uber, Swank, Dead Dollz, Project Se7en

Due to circumstances beyond my control with my health lately, I have been unable to post as much as I would have liked. As I sit here tonight with time on my hands for the first time in a bit I can't seem to come up with a witty story or anecdote. Two and a half years ago I had the scariest 29 days of my life, and it seems my body has decided to do a repeat performance of that moment in time. And though I am not as afraid as I was the first time possible Breast Cancer was mentioned, I am also finding it harder to stay positive. For the last year it has been one thing right after the other in regards to my health and I am just ready for this roller coaster to stop. So instead of trying to eek out something meaningless I am simply going to talk to you about how I fell in love with this Black Swan creature I put together, and I hope you do too!

The Black Swan's Song - Featuring Virtual Diva, Truth and Petit Chat

Just in time for that most Hallowed of seasons, Virtual Diva has created this stunning Black Swan ensemble, complete with feathers, crown, skirt and appliers, as well as this GORGEOUS eye makeup applier for LeLutka! I was looking for an updo hairstyle when I stumbled across this new release from Truth currently available at Uber, which is where I went to pick up Dead Dollz Ballet outfit so I could grab the perfect toe shoes and tights, bringing the entire ensemble together. And after that I literally scampered off to FOXCITY because I remembered they had a set of sexy ballet poses recently, but I got lost and stumbled into a bunch of purchases, and I couldn't be happier! From the stunning backgrounds, to props, to amazingly detailed poses, everything is a MUST have for anyone who takes photos, so head there if you haven't become addicted yet! And because this photo wasn't enough to show off the makeup or the new cuffs from Petit Chat, I just HAD to take a close up!

The Black Swan's Song - Featuring Petit Chat, Virtual Diva and Truth

I adore this skin from Essences that was in the September Powder Pack, and for some reason I have started leaning towards the paler skins, only if they have great shading and details like this one does, and I have planned a little trip by the store to pick up a few more appliers for my LeLutka head. Ok, now check out these fantastic new cuffs from Petit Chat, only available for a few more days at the Project Se7en event. The Atlas Cuffs are 100% Original Mesh and are HUD driven, offering 6 options for the Metal and Leather, as well as 4 selections for the dots. I have chosen to customize the set to make them black on black, which you can do this as well, as each piece can be modified, so make sure to check out the Notecards in your package for Customization Tricks. If you haven't checked out the wonderful items from Petit Chat, then do yourself a favor and grab these cuffs, customize until your heart is content and find out what the fuss is all about!

As usual, a song has been playing through my head all day, so I must share with all of you and then bid you goodnight!

"Mirror, mirror on the wall Who's the baddest of them all?" Madonna - Featuring K-tarsis, Truth, Glam Affair, Emberotic's Fashion Designs

I don't know if the rest of you parents are free yet, but school has started here in northern Arizona and I am finally free from one of the teens! Yay! But the one who graduated in June is still tagging along as I come into town, and we continue to have appointments with docs and people for the house, as well as that dreaded word J O B, for an 18 year old. But he's been starting to look a bit harder but I am sure that has something to do with the threats of having to move out that are prompting those, but the rule in the house is either you are in school or you have a job, so the party is about to be over, and then I will be able to sit back, organize all the goodies and be able to breathe and not feel like I am always running to catch up with blogging! I think the light at the end of the tunnel has me feeling a bit feisty again and in those moods I have a mix on youtube I always go to so I can wiggle along as I blog and yesterday as I donned this ensemble the mix came on and a certain song went on replay, which means I just HAD to share!

Mirror, mirror on the wall Who's the baddest of them all

I have fallen in love with all the new tattoo releases from the fabulous K-tarsis, and wanted to show this one off, since I seem to be running around in them when not blogging! If you don't know the name, I promise you will soon because the designs are absolutely amazing and come for almost all the mesh bodies out there, male and female!! The Mandala design is elegant, sexy and is perfect for those plunging, cleavage revealing designs you wear to the club year round. So do yourself a favor and stop by the store, you won't be disappointed!

The Darkness Monthly Event started on the 5th and runs until the end of the month, so you have some time to go wander around still, but do yourself a favor and check out the newest release from Emberotic's Fashion Designs, an exclusive for the event. The Temptation Low V-cut dress and fishnets with heels are available for several mesh bodies, making a perfectly snug fitting club dress! I love the flirty fishnets and of course the impossibly short hemline and daring neckline, making it the penultimate clubbing dress! So if you are looking to add a little bit of sexy to your wardrobe then head on over to the event and do some serious shopping! Speaking of shopping, I have been picking up skins lately more than pretty much anything, including this gorgeous new design from Glam Affair, exclusively available at the current round of Uber! As usual the HUD includes a plethora of options for brows, eyes and lips, making it very versatile, and a gorgeous base for almost all make ups, and Uber is also where you can get your hands on this truly stunning hair from Truth! The Margarita comes with an amazing Styling HUD giving you a ton of options so you don't have to go buying 6 different hairs, only the 1, which also happens to come with flower accessories, which only adds to the allure of this hair, and as always Truth has stunning Reds, and we know that means it will always make it's way into my hair closet!

"Shower me with your love, all of every day." - Featuring Petit Chat and Truth

Today is one of those days that apparently my heart just wants to march to the beat of it's own drummer, with no rhyme or reason, at least not that I can find! And as usual it has me in a bit of an odd mood, but not a bad one, more like playful and whimsical. I'm sure my kids would tell you I am in full smart ass mode, but I of course, am trying to sugar coat it a bit. But life, as it is, has been showing it's ugly face and a long time ago I decided to meet these moments with levity and a wry sense of humor, while at the same time, being in the arms of the man I love, surrounded by my kids and friends is where I long to be. That place where all the stress melts away for a few moments and you can simply breathe with those who know you best. A time to close your eyes, take a long deep breath and let their love rain down on you.

Shower me with your love, all of every day

Butterfly

In my mother's house
There's a photograph
Of a day gone past
Always makes me laugh
There's a little girl
Wary of the world
She got much to learn
Get her fingers burned
An affinity
Between you and me
Cause we're family
Said that I'd be fine
Give me all your time
And I left your side
Like a butterfly

Shower me with your love
All of everyday
You make the red rose sun
Shine on me
Lift me up so high
Watch me fly away
Would you live your life
Like a butterfly

In my mother's house
There was happiness
I wrapped my myself in it
Was my chrysalis
As my life unfolds
See a pattern through
Of you protecting me
And I protecting you
What was that you'd say
Make your own mistakes
And when you're grown
Make sure that you remain the same
Now I realise
What was on your mind
When I left your side
Like a butter fly

Shower me with your love
All of everyday
You make the red rose sun
Shine on me
Lift me up so high
Watch me fly away
Give me life
Like a butterfly

Shower me with your love
All of everyday
You make the red rose sun
Shine on me
Lift me up so high
Watch me fly away
Give me life
Like a butterfly


If you are a little bit of a bohemian like I am, or you love flirty, feminine accessories, then you seriously need to hurry over to the current round of The Chapter Four and pick up this beautiful new headband from Petit Chat. The Abigail Headband comes with a HUD with 8 options on 5 parts. As usual every part of this design can be customized to fit your mood or ensemble and make sure to check out the notecard in your package about further customization techniques. The textures are expertly done and with the amount of choices on the HUD it is incredibly versatile, making it a wonderful addition to every accessory collection! And if you haven't noticed, there is a trend towards having Styling HUDS that come with different hairs, offering different styles in one purchase, which for me, is absolutely NEEDED! I have fallen in love with the newest release from Truth @ Uber and all the styles you can choose just by buying one hair, so hurry over and check it out, I promise you won't be disappointed!

Classically Stylish under a New Moon in AnaMarkova Designs, Lone Wolf Studio and Alaskametro

I am begrudgingly a little behind in my blogging for AnaMarkova Designs, even though I try and get out at least two posts a month to show off her releases, but it just doesn't seem to be enough!  If you have been a fan then make sure to remember that AnaMarkova releases weekly so the few items I get to show off to you are really only a tiny peek into the gorgeous creations added to the store much more often than I could possibly blog!  The Toyah Sweater Dress is a perfect example of something you don't want to miss out on!  This stunning, body draping dress comes in several colors with matching shoes, with each piece wonderfully textured with an incredible attention to detail.  So make sure you head by Designer Showcase and the store to pick up the latest and greatest from AnaMarkova Designs!


Today, December 11th, marks the New Moon and a new program at Lone Wolf Studio as well as a new product!  Lone Wolf Studio marks the New Moon with a new release and this time the amazing creator brings you a new set of nails perfect for this time of year.  Expect to find releases on the New and Full Moon's in the store this month and probably from now on, so make sure to check my blog and the store!


I also wanted to show off two of the stunning make up pieces currently at this round of Anybody from Alaskametro.  The Creme Duo shadows come in a wide variety of colors as well appliers for your favorite mesh heads, with the Omega applier; and the Sheer Gloss also comes in a bunch of colors and also comes with the same appliers as well as Standard Layers.  Do yourself a favor and head on by the event before it's too late and these disappear into the Marketplace store.

AnaMarkova Designs can be found at The Designer Showcase as long as this round is running as well as at On9 with brand new releases that I haven't gotten my hands on yet!  Do yourself and shy away from the current crazy events on the grid and just relax at The Designer Showcase and On9!

Caught Daydreaming

I love those moments when you just plop down somewhere to set up a scene and I realize that the pose I just randomly sat in captured my mood perfectly.  I often find myself staring out the window when it's cold outside and daydreaming of the beach, or a warm fire, or cuddles with a special someone and today is one of those days where I seem to be doing a whole lot of nothing besides staring out the window.  When I spotted this pose in the Battered Chair from unKindness I knew I had found the place to capture my mood.


Drifting off into the shadows I can hear the waves lapping at the beach as it creeps forward as the tide comes in; the warmth of the sun on my skin and the feel of your hand clasped in mine as we walk along the beach.  Perfectly at peace with a smile on my face, the chill of the storm on the horizon fades from my bones and for a moment I am caught in a daydream.

This is going to be a Christmas fit for a Princess, and it's about time I had one

I have always wanted my very own fairy tale mirror with lights, and preferably a Fairy God Mother, but we know that isn't going to happen, but as luck will have it, I now have my very own Princess Mirror!  I might have gotten a bit excited when I saw this mirror was going to be at The Fantasy Collective and I actually made myself wait to get it until yesterday, if you can believe it, but I was waiting for the crowds to die down and to really have time to look around.  That event makes me crazy though because I have a tendency to get lost in all those winding paths and crisscrossing pathways, but when I am on a mission it doesn't matter, that mirror was going to be mine!  I happened up on a few other things while I was there, which was a happy surprise as well, so check out the website for the event to grab the shopping guide and get your hands on some wonderfully whimsical items!


I was actually putting all of this together for another post when I finally connected with the wonderful Luana Barzane and got all my blogger stuff and two gorgeous new gowns for Amarelo Manga!  The Nilfa Long Gown has a fantastic Teal to Gold fade from the bottom to the top that is flawless and the dress fits magnificently well without breaking or stretching as I posed and moved around.  Looking for a curve hugging, cleavage baring dress for the Holiday season then make sure to head on by the store today!  


I often think that nail designers don't get a lot of credit for the hard work that they do, so I am trying to make sure I include them in my posts with a close up to spotlight the incredible designs made on such a tiny platform!  This release can only be found at the SL 2015 Christmas Expo right with all or part of the proceeds going to benefit Relay for Life, so you get fabulous nails AND get to donate to a wonderful cause!  What could be better?!

Beautiful and afraid of nothing, as though I had wings

For those of you who know my story, you know that life has given me my fair share of curve balls along the way and that I seem to take everything pretty much in stride, with just a few hiccups along the way.  To those on the outside looking in I seem to handle everything that comes my way and continue to smile and attempt to make people laugh.  But for those who are closest to the Jester in her court know that there are cracks in the facade for most of the time the only thing people see is a mask.  When the lights go down at the end of the day and the house grows quiet, the masks come off and what is revealed is often a worn out, tearful woman in incredible pain who has very few moments to spend just with herself.  When the pain cycle has gotten out of control I have a bit of mania that kicks in and so I end up not being able to sleep, which is really the only break I get from the pain.  So it becomes a cycle and I feel at war with my own body every hour of every day.  Over the years, one of the ways I find to get lost is to read.  And I have been told I "consume" not read, which is probably a pretty accurate description of how I read when I am in need of an escape.  It has been so long since I first picked up a collection of poems from Mary Oliver that I forget there was a time in my life where her books and quotes didn't live in my homes.  I am known to quote her often and I am proud to have introduced her to so many people over the decades.  Lately, the court Jester/ Nurse Nightengale hasn't been feeling so perky and to be honest, my mood is pretty low.  I am still up at 4 a.m. (now 5 am as I finish this post) with no sleep in sight soon, breakfast and getting Jesse off to school will happen in just a few hours and there is a part of me wishing I wasn't me at the moment.  It is one of those days that the darkness has crept in and I long for a light revealing an answer to relief.  This, may take some time, and as I was sitting and reading a phrase, quote, stanza, if you like, started tumbling its way out of the recesses of my brain and into consciousness.
“I want to think again of dangerous and noble things.
I want to be light and frolicsome.
I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing,
as though I had wings.”
― Mary Oliver, Owls and Other Fantasies: Poems and Essays
For a moment, I want the daily struggles to just take a coffee break and let me return to my carefree life I had once upon a time, where every movement wasn't considered and options weighed before committing to the simplest of tasks.  But this cocoon I live in, I am firmly convinced that someday from my chrysalis I will struggle and crawl, emerging to greet the light as my beautiful, unique wings unfurl and carry me far away to a new life, free from pain, my constant companion, never my friend.  I find, taking time to be with yourself, to love yourself, to know yourself is often the quickest path to discovering your wings, and as I sat tonight, the moment was just right, and the lighting just perfect for a glimpse inside my cocoon.

Improbable, beautiful and afraid of nothing

Too many people try to hide when they get down or simply pretend that it doesn't happen to them, but let's be honest, everyone has their moments.  I have told you all before I like being the melancholy baby from time to time, it keeps me grounded and honest and sometimes lingering there, for a moment can make you appreciate even more the amazing things around you!  
 
Have a wonderfully wicked Wednesday and remember to always stay true to your style and make today's fashion trends work for you!

The Apply Me! event from Solaris started today bringing you amazing creations for all your appliers!  From bodies to heads to boobs and butts you are sure to find something for your favorites!  As most of you know I stayed covered for the most part in my blog and if I have to be a tad bit more revealing for a Sponsor, I will do it but you will get a censored picture so as to not set off the nudity police!  This round PixyStix brings this gorgeous tattoo for your hands, tummy and nipples.  The intricate detailing is well done and can be worn in pieces not as just a whole tattoo which I find to be a plus.  I hate when I want only a piece of a tattoo to show and I have to wear the entire piece and that can often times interfere with layers on mesh bodies.  So to  kick off the event I take you inside my home with the lights down low, a little Nina on the radio and the clothes kicked to the side.

Revealed in Perfect Detail
The Details
Hair - No.Match - No.Trouble
Skin - DeeTaleZ - Joice @ Uber
Eyes - IKON
Tattoo - PixyStix - Peak Hour @ Apply Me!
Pose - Kirin - Namie


Have a wonderfully wicked rest of your day and remember to stay true to your style and make today's fashion trends work for you!

Like a fine wine....getting better with age

So everyone who has been following along knows I am over 40, but for anyone new, I turned 43 in April, and though I don't think I look fantastic for my age, I am not one to hide it either.  My body acts like it is a lot older and with everything I have been through, I do look pretty good for that, at least in my opinion.  Over the years I have dated younger men and the most common comment among them is that women age like a fine wine, and just get better with age.  Now I am not one to analyze the younger/older relationships as I honestly believe that if you can find love in this world, as long as it isn't with children or animals, that you are blessed.  It is tough no matter who you are anymore and if you find a soul connection with someone, a difference of fifteen or twenty years shouldn't make a difference, as long as the people involved are ready to handle all the crap they are going to get.  Trust me when I say there will always be a ton of it, from younger, older, same age... everyone will have an opinion.  It has been a very long time since I dated someone younger in my real life, but I have dated younger men pretty much exclusively online since 2008.  Call me vain, whatever, but I do enjoy the idea of being attractive to men at least ten years younger than I am.  It gives a nice little boost to the ego, which I think anyone needs from time to time.

Call me vain but I love it when he says I aged like a fine wine!
As I wiggled into this gorgeous new ensemble from Loovus I immediately felt like "Mrs. Robinson" and I might have giggled just a bit at the fact I own an outfit quite similar to this one.  Sneak Peek ends on the 5th!  Which means you only have about twelve more hours to head on over and grab the newest group gifts and to see all of the hotness that is Sneak Peek!  So with a wink and a smile I think I might call up an "old" younger friend and see what he is up to for the evening, my ego needs a little boosting!

Ensemble
Hat - Loovus - Dasia Brim @ Sneak Peek
Top - Loovus - Brisa Top @ Sneak Peek
Pants - Loovus - Maite Pant @ Sneak Peek
Shoes - Loovus - Baltic Heels Deep @ Sneak Peek
Purse - Loovus - Sudan Tote @ Sneak Peek
Necklace - Maxi Gossamer - Sansa Amulet @ Uber
Pose - KaTink - Andrea Editorial Set @ Sneak Peek
Have a wonderfully wicked rest of your night or day if you are on the other side of the "pond" from me and remember to always stay true to your style and make today's fashion trends work for you!

Set adrift on memory bliss

As I was putting these pictures together today, a song started dancing it's way through my brain.  At first it was just the melody, and then it came together and one line kept repeating itself over and over again.  I realized as I put the last touches on the photos that it was actually a perfect title and mood to go along with my post for the day.  I might be in a bit of a romantic mood today after having a delightful evening with a gentleman friend, and I thought I would share it with all of you.

Baby will you be there
When the mornin' comes
Just give me time
To fix my life, baby
Baby will you be there
When I open my eyes
After all the time I've spent
Wishing you
Baby you set me
Baby you set me
Set adrift on memory bliss of you
Baby you set me
Set adrift on memory bliss
PM Dawn


As you can tell, I had quite a bit of fun at The Arcade this round, and I have no complaints because I actually got everything I went there for without having to break the bank to do it.  Which, I know is probably a surprise for most of you out there who have ventured to the event this time.  I had been decorating this scene when I took a break and opened up my newest goodies from AnaMarkova Designs and suddenly it went from just a scene to an entire post with a very calm, casual, lazy, romantic, "days of Summer feel", at least for me.  The Chandra dress and shoes are new releases in the store but if you hurry, you can pick up this and one other along with the shoes at On9, and make sure to check the tags as there is a discounted item hiding amongst the pieces, which is true for all participants at On9.  I love the breezy, yet sensual styling of this dress and the bold color combinations are perfect for this Summer, so do yourself a favor and head by On9 and the store to check out the fabulous new releases.

The current round of Uber has my little boho heart all kinds of happy.  I know that isn't the theme, but the henna tattoos and India inspired designs speak to my inner soul and truly make me happy.  I just HAD to show you a few of the things I picked up this round since they complimented and accented this dress in the best possible way for me.


The Ishya hair from Truth is truly stunning with its long braid, and add-on bangs.  It also comes with a headpiece that sits exactly where it should in the part of the hair, but I chose to accent it with the jewelry collection from Maxi Gossamer, also available at this round of Uber.  The jewelry consists of a head piece, nose ring, earrings and a necklace that are all color change upon touch.  And to finish the look today I picked up this amazing tattoo from Reckless while I was at Uber.  The henna styling is wonderfully feminine and the tattoo is very well detailed offering you all the latest in appliers as well as Faded and Fresh looks, so head on over to Uber and pick up your favorites today.

Addicted to you

I'm addicted to you, hooked on your love
Like a powerful drug I can't get enough of
Lost in your eyes, drowning in blue
Out of control, what can I do?
I'm addicted to you!

Avicii - Addicted to You

I hope everyone has had a wonderfully wicked weekend and are relaxing before the week starts.  Not many more days left in this month which means there isn't much more time to head on over to My Vogue Valentine's and get your hands on some of the newest and hottest creations on the grid.  LaVian & Co. has several releases for this round including this fantastic tuxedo style jacket with leggings.  The "Bring it All Back" ensemble comes with a HUD with a multitude of color options.  The black satin leggins are a perfect addition and let it be noted the jacket can be worn alone as well creating a very sexy and dramatic look as well as the more classic.  Every outfit is well thought out and many of the pieces can be combined to create even more looks than even LaVian presents!  And if you are looking for a new fabulous hair then head on over to Catwa and grab "Rosy", you will not be disappointed!

You know I love the thrill of the rush


Baby, I'm a sociopath,
Sweet serial killer.
On the warpath,
'Cause I love you
Just a little too much.
I love you just
A little too much.
(Much, much, much).
You can see me
Drinking cherry cola,
Sweet serial killer.
I left a love note,
Said you know I love,
The thrill of the rush.
Sweet serial killer,
(I guess I'll see him over).
I love you just a little too much,
Love you just a little too much, much.

Lana Del Rey - Serial Killer

I hope everyone has enjoyed their day off and are finishing off a wonderfully wicked long weekend with a bang!  Lana Del Rey provided the soundtrack today as I put together this ensemble for all of you to check out.  Virtual Diva has recently released the "Freedom" tops in a variety of colors and textures today I just had to show you the Leather version combined with my favorite high-waist leggings from Le Primitif and a couple of goodies I recently picked up from the With Love Fair.  The fit on the top is fantastic and it didn't break as I posed or moved and it is expertly textured. I also had to show off the "Aimee" hair from Catwa as well, just in case you hadn't made it by Fashion Fair 2015 to check it out.  The event runs until the end of the month and this hair is an exclusive, so hurry on over and grab your favorite color pack today!

Happy shopping and remember to always stay true to your style and make today's fashions work for you!

Last days of the Snowbunny

I know that some of the country is still digging out from under inches and sometimes feet of snow, and the slopes are covered with snowbunnies from all over the world.  But soon, those hills will be covered in lush green grass and the chill of this Winter will be a distant memory.  So before the last ski is put up for the year let me bring to you an adorable outfit from Tameless!


The "Hoodlem" outfit is a complete ensemble of top, jeans, boots and a hood for the top, but I chose to use this fantastic hair from Catwa today because it compliments the outfit perfectly!  I loved that the cuffs on this sweater were not hard to fit or adjust and I have to say, the hard nip peeking through is a great detail on this outfit!  Tameless has been releasing a lot of new ensembles this last month, so make sure to head by the store and check out all the new releases as well!


The BOSL Hunt started yesterday at participating sims and Glint has put out this gorgeous heart necklace for the hunt, available for both men and women!  The wonderful owner of Glint has offered free monogramming on the heart as long as the necklace is purchased during the hunt.  Head on over and grab yours and make sure to show that special someone how much you care and get it monogrammed!  And while there grab these fantastic leather bracelets as well. 

Ensemble
Top, Jeans, Boots - Tameless - Hoodlem
Necklace - Glint - Leather Forever for BOSL Hunt Feb. 14th - Feb. 28th - $25L
Bracelets - Glint - Leather, Ropes and Beads
Earrings - Yummy - Twinkling Star @ Uber

While there is still snow up on the Peaks, this snowbunny is heading out for one of her last sessions of the season.  Have a wonderfully wicked rest of your day and remember to always stay true to your style and make today's fashions work for you!

The "Ellie" skin from the current round of Uber by Glam Affair was a perfect compliment to this ensemble with its delicate lips and blush, which I just had to add Wicked Peach's newest release from ROMP - Fresh too.  The "Yes Mistress" collection has six different shadow all with sparkles of glitter.  The colors are not overpowering and definitely accentuate the eyes perfectly.  ROMP won't be open for too much longer, so make sure to go grab yours now while you still can!

If you were wanting to play cupid tonight in the bedroom with that special someone then this is the exact outfit you were hoping for!  And, it just begs for a night of hedonistic pleasure!  Take care, be safe and remember to always stay true to your style and make today's fashions work for you!

Bohemian Nights

Happy Friday everyone!  I hope you all have had a wonderfully wicked week and are heading into an even more decadent weekend!  The Bohemian in me was so excited when I opened the box from ECRU with their goodies from The Thrift Shop!  I found the PURRFECT Valentine's dress, shoes and accessories for my romantic night out tomorrow!


The Thrift Shop is open for a couple of more weeks if you want to get your hands on the two new and exclusive items from ECRU.  The "Nara" dress comes in two different texture HUDS meaning you are sure to find your favorite combination, or pick up both HUDS for a HUGE discount for the duration of the event.  The "Bohemia" jewelry set is made to compliment the dress, meaning the Texture HUD's match for both pieces, so make sure to grab the matching jewelry as well.  These fantastic "Vogue" stilettos are not an exclusive but also come in matching colors to the HUDS for the dress and jewelry.  The mesh on this dress is just amazing and the alphas are cut very well, though the textures do come with the outfit in case you need to alter the alpha for any reason.  I loved that the dress didn't cut into my thighs as I walked or posed, which is often an issue in a short slim fitted dress.  I think this dress should hang in everyone's closet as it is very versatile and just gorgeous!  Head on over to The Thrift Shop to get yours today!

Dress - ECRU - Nara - Texture Set #2 NEW & EXCLUSIVE @ The Thrift Shop
Shoes - ECRU - Vogue Stilettos in Azure @ The Thrift Shop
Necklace and Earrings - ECRU - Bohemia - NEW & EXCLUSIVE @ The Thrift Shop
Watch - Shey - Mechanic Bamboo (from Limited Bazaar last year)

Hair - Truth - Elaine
Lashes - Gaeline - Felicia
Liner - DeeTaleZ - Black A
Hands and Feet - Slink
Nails - DaneMarkZ - Pantone - Spring 2015 - Slink and Belleza Appliers
If you all have been paying attention, I have fallen in love with Glam Affair skins over the past few months, and the "Ellie", the exclusive for Uber this round, is no exception.  The delicate makeup and highlights are truly stunning and I love that I don't have to add cleavage to make the skin look better when wearing dresses that should show a hint of cleavage.  So head over to the event and grab a demo or just head to the store and fall in love like I have with their amazing skins!  

Happy Friday and remember to always stay true to your style and make today's fashions work for you!
